Short and long-term facility planning is the most pressing issue at this time. With student populations decreasing and costs increasing, the Board can utilize my background and experience to help the community come together on ideas for right-sizing our square footage, maintain buildings, improve security, and allow for optimal learning.
Beyond this, marketing and pride in our district is another issue I'd like to assist with. We have so many accomplishments, accolades, and programming to be proud of - supporting these efforts, sharing with the communities around us, and encourages families to want to enroll with West Bend is key.
Finally, I would like to see teacher and staff relations improved between administration, school board, and the community as a whole. Developing programs that attract and retain our staff will help us keep and reward talented people and allow us to be a workplace where others want to flock to in this ever challenging job-market.
